VirtualDub keeps crashing on me

[Odi]

I have been trying to get video material from a DVD to edit friendly material. To do this I have been following a couple of guides pretty mechanicly because I know next to nill about Codecs and coding/decoding. I know what they are for/what they are and some simple basic script commands but thats about it.

Since I don't know where the error orginated and what info you need to help me is I will try and explain the full process.

I rip up a DVD to my harddrive using DVD Decrypter version 3.5.4.0. When the process is compleate I will have a .VOB file. I then use DVD2AVI version 1.77.3 to make a .d2v file which I uppload to VirualDub Version 1.6.19 (I have also tried version 1.7.2) through avisynth 2.5.7. which I allso use to tinker with the file a bit. Fixing telecined footage etc.
The plugins I use in avisynth is "Decomb521" and "MPEG2Dec3.dll".

I can do this process pretty much in my sleep because I did the same thing before I reformated my Harddrive. I dont understand in depth what im doing just that it works really well.

And here's the problem. VirtualDub Crashes on me every time I open the d2v. Sometimes the instant I open it and sometimes after a few seconds. Sometimes not before I start canning through the footage. And sometimes I manage to configure the DivX codec 4.12 but when I try and export the file to an AVI it always ends up the same... It crashes. Giving me the report:

-- End of report


This report was gatherd from version 1.7.2

The thing is that before i "omformaterade" Reformated (dunno if it is the correct word... Reinstalled windows and clensed my harddrive) I followed these guides and it worked smoothly... I used the same versions for everything exept Avisynth / Virtualdub / DVD2AVI / DvD Decrypter.

Ive googlesearched and forumsearched on this problem for 2 days now and i have seen that some people have almost the same problem... I read through the threads but did not become any wiser.

*noteworthy* Virtualdub still crashes even if I dont load the Plugins... It just takes more time for it to crash.


This is one thing I found that my be the caus for all the crashes:



I have a feeling it may be the last one... I don't know what videocard I have but I do have an Asus motherboard. P4P800 Deluxe if it is to any help.

I Tried to find this "decompression-only ASUSASVD driver" withoud luck... Asus hompage sucks some serious donkey-doodle.


Thanks allot for any replies. It would mean a world.

[guns1inger]

That is a really old version of Divx, given the current version is 6.6. You would be better off using a current version of Xvid over Divx 4.12.

You can use virtualdubmpeg2 to open and process VOBs directly, removing the need for DGIndex in the process. Unless there is something in avisynth you must use, this will streamline the process somewhat.

Start simple - can you open the mpeg in virtualdubmpeg2 and compress to Divx ?

If not, can you compress to Xvid ?

If you can compress to Divx, then try putting DGIndex back into the mix.

[Odi]

Ty for the advice... I have tried to open the .vob directly in Virtualdubmpeg 2 and everything runs smoothly.

But when I try and use avisynth and the .D2V file again it starts to fail on me again. Can it be that DVD2AVI gives me a bad .D2V file?

Is there any way beside using avisynth to remove or separate those blending frames?

Using the new divx also did not produce the desired quality eather... That my largly depend on the settings I chose.

Thank you for the help anyways.

[guns1inger]

When using .d2v files you must use the same DGindex to open them as was used to create them. Make sure the loadplugin for DGIndex is the same as the one DVD2AVI uses.

[Kimclean]

ok, i am 99.99% sure im using the same guides as the original poster and i know im getting the exact same error, only unlike him being able to do these steps in his sleep, i starting........... TODAY. Like the original poster i dont really know why this works (been more of a hardware guy up till now) but it has seemed to work up untill this point (although i really wouldnt know the difference i guess as this is the first project i have ever worked on). Would you be willing to work with me here, im not even knowledgable enough to really understand your previous answers to the question. I do feel like im learning as i go but the only reason i have even made it this far is simply following the step by step instructions in the guide were using and downloading everything it says. I did get the newest version of Divx (6.7 at this point i think) but that didnt solve my problem. would you be willing to break it down for me (a dummy who is only following preset instructions).

[manono]

If you're really using the same guide as the OP, and the same tools, then dump DVD2AVI and MPEG2Dec3.dll. Get the current DGMPEGDec package, make your D2V with the current DGIndex, and use the current DGDecode.dll in your AviSynth script. Also, make sure you have an up-to-date AviSynth. It doesn't have to be the latest 2.5.8 beta, but at least 2.5.7. If you don't know what AviSynth you have installed, then make an .avs and name it, maybe, Version.avs. Inside have just this one line:

Version()

Open it in VDub(Mod) to check the version. If you still have the same problem after updating to these more current tools, then come back. Also, if the problems continue, post the scripts with which you're having problems, along with the error messages you get when opening them in VDub(Mod).

[Kimclean]

thank you for the tips, i will get to them tomorow hopefully, its late here, or it might have to be the day after when i have the free time again. I will post again with any additional problems that come up or if it fully fixed the problem. in the quite likely event that i get confused along the way i will come back for more info. Thanks a ton.

[Kimclean]

Seems to work fine now, thanks mate.

Scrath that, now im getting a new error, it doesnt do it to me as soon as i go to look at the video anymore, and it lets me start saving it via Divx Codex (i dont yet know the term of doing that yet, sorry). I get about 10 - 30 mins into it and i get the error.

I've never met anyone yet that could decipher those VDub error codes. I don't know why anyone posts those long things. Anyway, I don't use VDub, but VDubMod. Maybe try that or possibly VDub-MPEG2.

You don't have any hardware problems do you - any computer instabilities? Any overheating? Any overclocking going on? Can you monitor the temps while encoding? Seemingly random crashes at different places during the encode can sometimes indicate computer problems of one sort or another.

If the AviSynth script opened and you can scroll around with no problem, then it's not an AviSynth problem, I don't think. You might post the script anyway, but I don't think it'll give us any clues.

thanks i will try those and get back to you. as far as computer problems well...... its a self built comp so if you can think of it, i have probably had to deal with it at some time or another. I upgrade the parts every few years but i havnt had any problems with it for about 3 years. Here are the main spec's, although i doubt it will help its better to list it and be safe.

AMD Athlon 64 3400+
1g Ram
BFG Nvidia 6800 GT (Factory Overclocked)
2 80 Gig Harddrives (one for games and most files, the other for video's and other media stuff)
Win SP2

As far as AviSyth goes i havnt really had any problems with it. I can open it in VDub and scroll around fine now (thanks to you i might add, i couldnt do that befor i get your earlier post) its only when i go to save as an Avi that i get the problem. I did defrag both my hard drives last night after 2 failed attempts and tried again. It cut the expected time down by about 2/3's and i did get much further but eventually it crashed again.

[Kimclean]

hm, same thing just happened with Vdubmod

This is sounding more and more like computer instability to me, either overheating of the CPU or memory problems.

For memory, the test to do is memtest86. I never run the whole thing, but just for 20 minutes or so. If you have a bad memory stick it'll fill the screen with red before very long. You have to burn it to floppy or CD and boot off of the disc or floppy. I think that my CPU stress tests work only for dual core CPUs, so I guess Prime95 is still the stress test to run.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prime95

If it's not one of those (or a hard drive going bad, maybe), then I just don't know and maybe someone else has some ideas. Sorry.

[Kimclean]

havnt done Memtest yet, but i just ran prime95 for over 20 hours and got no problems
